Himiway C5 Manual

The Industry Standard of Long-range E-bike

After Bike Assembly

An e-bike that travels more than 60 miles on a paved road at an average speed of 15 mph with a gradient of 0 is called a long-range e-bike.

Description of the definition
An e-bike that travels more than 60 miles on a paved road at an average speed of 15 mph with a gradient of 0 is called a long-range e-bike.

• The constant need of recharging e-bikes is the biggest pain point for e-bike enthusiasts, who hope that a single charge can cover a week of travel.
• Their average ride frequency is 5 days a week, with an average mileage of 10.48 miles per ride.
• So the weekly mileage for e-bike enthusiasts is 52.4 miles.
• Combined with some other factors in riding, Himiway believes that an e-bike that can reach 60 miles on a single charge is an authentic long-range e-bike.

Assembly Instructions

Handlebar Installation (4mm Hex Wrench)

Step 1: Loosen the bolts on your bike stem.

Step 2: Center your handlebars and rotate them to align to the marking pointed to in the below image.

Step 3: Tighten bolts to handlebar stem, but don't tighten completely as you may want to further adjust the angle later to align more precisely. Test the positioning, and adjust the handlebar to your preferred angle. After determining the best position, completely tighten all the bolts on the stem.

NOTICE: In addition to angle, the height of the handlebar can be adjusted by adding or removing the headset spacers if needed. For those without experience, we recommend having a professional make such adjustments for safety reasons.

Front Wheel Installation

Step 1: Lay a mat down to protect both bike and floor from scratches. Next, carefully flip your bike upside down for the front wheel installation.

Step 2: Remove the plastic axle guards from the front wheel, being careful to avoid contact with the brake rotor set.

Step 3: Remove the front forks protection bar by manually pulling it straight up. Pull out the red pad, which is used to protect the hydraulic brake caliper.

Step 4: Loosen the front wheel nuts. Remove the front wheel hub axle.

Step 5: Align the hole in the center of the tire with the hole in the hub axle. Then, insert and secure the hub axle while ensuring that the brake pads of the front wheel are properly engaged with the brake.

Step 6: Tighten the front wheel hub axle.

NOTICE: please go to "Recommended Torque Values" to check out the recommended torque values.

Headlight Installation (Extra Tool: 5mm Wrench)

Step 1: Loosen the bolt on the fork brace. Align the bolt holes of your headlight with the hole on the fork brace, then reinsert the bolt through all holes and tighten the bolt with a 5mm wrench and a hex wrench.

Step 2: Connect the light wire connectors together. Pay careful attention to the arrows on the wire connectors, making sure the arrows align with each other to avoid damaging the interior circuitry.

Pedals Installation (15mm wrench)

Make sure your pedals are installed on the correct side, as installing on the wrong side will damage the threads. Indicators for the right pedal (R) and the left pedal (L) can be found in two places: the stickers on the plastic cover, and the bottom of the pedal threads.

Before you install the pedals, apply a small amount of waterproof grease onto the spindle. Start threading the pedal on by hand to ensure the pedal is going in perfectly straight, rotating in the direction of the pointer shown on the crank. If it is not spinning smoothly, make doubly sure that you have the correct left or right pedal. After initial hand-tightening, finish tightening the pedals with a standard 15mm wrench.

After Bike Assembly

Please write down the serial numbers found on the head tube, battery and motor on the inside front cover of this manual to facilitate failure reporting. Make sure each letter and number is correct.

NOTICE:

1. Before using your bicycle, find out about all relevant requirements and regulations that apply in your country or state. There may be restrictions on riding on public roads, bike lanes or trails. There may also be requirements for helmets, age restrictions, driver's license requirements or bicycle light regulations.
2. When installing an accessory on your bike, such as a cargo trailer or child trailer, make sure the accessory is compatible and follow the manufacturer's and retailer's instructions.

• Rotate clockwise (+ direction) to increase damping. This will result in a slower rebound rate.
• Rotate counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease damping. This will result in a faster rebound rate.

Compression Adjustment Knob

Figure 2

• Rotate clockwise (+ direction) to increase damping. This will result in a slower compression rate.
• Rotate counterclockwise (- direction) to decrease damping. This will result in a faster compression rate.

Please find more adjustment information on Owners' Resources.

Riding Modes

Pedal-assist

Pedal-Assist is an operating mode on e-bikes designed to engage the motor to assist, but not replace, your own pedaling effort. When you are operating your bike in the pedal assist mode, you can adjust the setting according to your preference. Himiway has five pedal assist settings - ranging from 1 to 5.

• Higher pedal settings (L4/5) would be most helpful for those who want to ride faster with minimum effort. These settings are perfect for people who want to arrive fresh and timely at work, without being sweaty and exhausted.
• Lower pedal settings (L1/2) are popular for Himiway riders to use after work, or when leisurely exercise is preferred. These are best to use on the way home from work, to refresh yourself and relieve stress accumulated throughout the entire workday. Moreover, lower settings can extend usable range for longer rides, maximizing enjoyment while minimizing physical stress and fatigue.

Throttle-only

The throttle mode is similar to how a motorcycle or scooter operates, alleviating the need to pedal or providing an additional boost simply by twisting the throttle. Himiway Ebike can reach speeds of up to 25 miles/h with throttle mode, which not only allows you to travel faster, but also reassures riders with extra power whenever needed, depending on traffic conditions and rider energy levels. If you are an adventurer who chases after speed and distance without compromising comfort or safety, the throttle-assisted Himiway would be your perfect companion.

Pedal-only

In this mode, the Himiway will perform like a normal bike, as you'll be riding without any assistance from the motor. This mode is especially useful if you run out of battery, or are looking for more intensive resistance training.

We suggest that you select a lower assistance level when you first ride your Himiway Bike. After becoming more comfortable with the riding characteristics of our e-bike, and more familiar with the varying range requirements of your most common destinations and commuting routes, you can then make any needed adjustments to pedal assist settings, as well as throttle use frequency, riding position, etc.

NOTICE: Shift gears regularly for optimal cadence and downshift before stopping the bike. Before shifting gears, reduce the force of your pedal strokes to avoid premature wear.

Riding Limitations

Following are some limitations needing riders' careful attention to ensure the geared hub motor does not overheat or become damaged from excessive loading:

• Do not attempt to ride up hills steeper than 15% grade.
• Use the pedals to assist the motor when climbing hills and accelerating from a stop.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops.
• Generally accelerate at a moderate pace, rather than aggressively.

MOVING AND STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Follow these basic parking, storage, and transport tips to ensure your bike is well cared for, both on and off the road:

• When walking with the bike, turn off the power to avoid accidental acceleration, or use Walk Mode.
• Though our bikes are water resistant (IPX4 Water Resistance), please do not park your bike outdoors in cold or inclement weather for extended periods.
• When parking, switch the power and any lights off to conserve battery, remove the key from the bike, and ensure the battery is secured and locked to the frame.
• In public places, help keep your Himiway Bike safe and secure from theft by always locking it up.
• Make sure to not park, store or transport your Himiway Bike on a rack that is not designed for the size and weight of the bike. When storing or carrying your bike on a rack for transport, remove the battery to reduce the weight and make lifting or loading easier.

If the e-bike will not be used for extended periods, charge the battery to about 50 -60% of its capacity, turn off all systems and disconnect the battery from the bike. This can help in extending the battery's lifespan.

For long-term storage, we recommend storing the e-bike in a cool, dry place with a stable temperature.

Carrying Loads & Cargo

Total Payload Capacity of Himiway C5: 330 lb.
Weight: 88 lb.

Cargo Safe Operation Tips

The following list provides important tips for the safe operation of the Himiway Ebike when used for carrying cargo:

1. Make sure to load the cargo as low as possible to lower the center of gravity and improve stability.
2. Ensure your loads are properly secured and periodically check that nothing has loosened.
3. Plan your route accordingly when cargo is loaded on the Himiway Ebike, considering hill climbing ability, steering, and braking. Also account for moderately reduced range when carrying extra cargo weight (or an additional passenger).
4. Try to get a feel for the cargo load in a flat and open private area before riding on public roads.
5. Make sure to not use the front brake by itself, with or without cargo. Always apply the rear brake first followed by the front brake. Failure of the front fork or loss of control is possible when the front brake is operated independently, especially at higher speeds.
6. The kickstand is not designed to hold the bike upright with cargo by itself, always manually hold the bike upright when loading or carrying cargo.

Different materials and components may respond differently to stress and wear. If a component's service life is exceeded, it can suddenly fail and there is a risk of injury. Any form of cracks, scratches or color changes on highly stressed components indicate that the component life has expired and the part should be replaced.

Safety and Care Instructions

To ensure safe riding conditions and maximize e-bike longevity, you must follow the guidelines outlined below:

• To clean the e-bike, wipe the frame with a damp cloth soaked in a mild, non-abrasive, non-corrosive detergent mixture. Wipe or spray all unpainted parts with anti-rust treatment after being used in coastal areas or areas with salty air or water.
• Never use a pressure washer when cleaning your bike.
• Never immerse the bike or any components in water, as the electrical system may be damaged. If the hub and bottom bracket bearings have been submerged in water, they should be removed and re-greased (this will prevent accelerated bearing deterioration).
• Periodically check wiring and connectors to ensure there is no damage, and the connections are secure.
• Store under shelter, avoiding extended exposure to cold or inclement weather. If exposed to rain or excess moisture, dry your bicycle afterward and apply anti-rust treatment to the chain and any other unpainted steel surfaces.
• Regularly clean and lubricate all moving parts, tighten components and adjust as required.
• Your cables, spokes, and chain will stretch after an initial break in period of 80-160 km, and additionally bolted connections can loosen with time and usage. Therefore, we suggest you contact a certified bicycle mechanic every two months to ensure your bike is safe and problem-free for years of use.
• If the paint has become scratched, or the metal chipped, use touch-up paint to prevent rust (clear nail polish can also be used as a preventative measure).
• Damage from corrosion is not covered under warranty, therefore special care should be given to protect and extend the life of your bike.

Maintenance

Battery Maintenance (48V 15AH Samsung/LG Lithium-ion battery)

1. Don't fully drain your battery. Turn off the power when the battery charge is low.
2. Fully charge the battery after each use, no matter how much power is used. This will prolong the battery life. If the battery is not used for a long time, store the battery with a full charge and charge it once a month.
3. The Himiway Bike can be safely ridden in light rain. However, riding through very heavy downpours or through flooded streets is not recommended, as the crank and/or motor can get wet, which may cause problems.
4. Keep the battery away from open flame or a high-temperature heat source. Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight or recharge immediately after use in high-temperature weather.

Motor Maintenance (750W geared hub motor)

1. Please check your motor frequently and tighten any loose screws or nuts, to prevent the vehicle from breaking down due to disconnected wires.
2. The geared hub motors are not waterproof, so avoid riding through water deeper than the lower edge of the geared hub motor to avoid motor failure.

Chain Maintenance

1. We recommend cleaning the chain after each ride, especially in rainy and humid environments. Use a dry cloth to wipe the chain and its accessories clean. Use a brush to remove sand and dirt stuck in the chain, along with use warm soapy water if needed. Do not use strong acidic or alkaline cleaning agents (such as rust remover), because these chemicals can damage the chain.
2. Apply lubricating oil after cleaning to avoid rust. First, make sure the chain is dry, and then apply the lubricating oil into the bearings.
3. To prevent unnecessary chain wear, try to maintain a vertical chain position when shifting gears (do not use the smallest gear with the smallest flywheel, or the largest gear with the largest flywheel, etc.).

Front Fork Maintenance

1. Always use a clean, oil-free lint-free cloth with plain or soapy water to clean your bike. To prevent water from flowing into the front fork, you can turn the bike upside down. Dry with a lint-free towel after washing. Pay specific attention to the inner tube and the dust seal to reduce wear and prevent thinning of the inner tube, which can lead to significant damage if the aluminum is exposed to air.
2. We recommend using a front fork dust cover to protect the inner tube of your front fork. This prevents dust from entering as well as hard objects from hitting the inner tube.

Brake Maintenance

1. Pad replacement:
   • The brake pads should be replaced if they have become contaminated or are less than 1mm thick, or if the total thickness of the pad is less than 2.5mm.
2. Before riding:
   • Check the pads for wear or contamination.
   • Check the hose for cracking, wear or deformation. Replace if necessary.
   • Check if the brake system is operating correctly.
3. After riding:
   • Check the pads for wear or contamination.
   • Check the hose for cracking, wear or deformation. Replace if necessary.
   • Check if the brake system is operating correctly.
     NOTICE: Do not touch the brake discs after heavy use.
4. At regular intervals:
   • Check the oil level in the reservoir.
   • Lubricate the brake lever pivot with grease.
   • Check to make sure that all the bolts are tightened to the correct torque specifications.
5. Bleed The System
   • You should always bleed the system after you have shortened or replaced the hose or have opened the system to the air at any time. Additionally, if the brake action feels spongy, you may improve performance by re-bleeding the system.

Tools and equipment required:

• 2mm Allen wrench
• 4mm Allen wrench
• 7mm wrench
• T15 Torx® wrench
• 20cc syringe
• Piece of tubing
• Tektro brake fluid
• Piston holder
• A clean, empty bottle or plastic bag
• A cleaning towel

Cleanliness is a very important part of any maintenance of the Tektro hydraulic disc brake. If the pads or rotor become contaminated with oil or if the hydraulics become contaminated with impurities, braking performance will be greatly impaired. Use only Tektro brake fluid with the Tektro hydraulic disc brake. Other brake fluids may not be compatible and may damage the system.

Step By Step Guide (See 4a - 4e)

Step 1: Place the bike in a stand. Position lever so that it sits parallel to the ground. (See 4a)

Step 2: Remove disc brake pads to avoid contamination during the bleed procedure. -Insert a disc brake piston setting tool or other non-sharp tool and push the pistons back into the caliper.

Step 3: Insert Tektro bleed block into caliper. Bleed block ensures that pistons will not move inward during bleed procedure.

Step 4: Using a T15 Torx, unscrew the bolt located at the caliper bleed port. (See 4b)

Step 5: Attach a section of plastic tubing with knurled silver bleed fitting to your syringe (supplied with bleed kit). Fill Syringe halfway with Tektro Mineral Oil. Hold the Syringe vertically with the tip up and tap out any air bubbles. Install the knurled silver bleed fitting (supplied with the bleed kit) into the caliper bleed port.

Step 6: Using a T15 Torx, remove the Reser/oir bleed plug. Set aside.

Step 7: Install the knurled silver bleed fitting (supplied with the bleed kit) into the reservoir bleed port. Firmly attach a long plastic tube over the bleed fitting, placing the other end into a clean, dry empty bottle or plastic bag. (See 4c)

Step 8: Start filling the brake with new mineral oil by slowly pushing the syringe. Air bubbles may come out of the reservoir. Continue pushing fluid until you no longer see bubbles coming out of the tube.(See 4d)

Step 9: Remove the plastic bag or collection bottle, section of tube, and knuried bleed fitting from the brake lever reservoir. Re-install the T-15 reservoir bleed plug. Tighten to 2-4Nm.

Step 10: With the bleed plug installled at the reservoir, you may now remove the syringe and knurled bleed fitting from the caliper. Re-install the T-15 caliper bleed plug. Tighten to 2-4Nm.

Step 11: Wipe off any excess oil from the lever and caliper body.

Step 12: Remove 2-Piston Bleed Block and reintstall the brake pads.

Adjust Lever Reach (See 4f - 4g)

• 4f. Tool free reach adjustment type-by the reach adjustment knob on the lever.
  
• 4g. By tightening the 2 mm reach-adjuster bolt on the lever.
  

TEKTRO had implemented 2 key improvements this year for better performance, 2.3mm thickness rotors and 5.0mm brake pads.

If there is lasered "5.0mm Pad" and (or) "2.3mm rotor only" or "E.2.3" on the caliper of your hydraulic disc brakes, please make sure to replace your brake pads and rotors according to the original setup of each model. You can find more information about 2.3mm rotors and 5.0mm pads on TEKTRO website. (See 4i).

Rotor replacement:

• 2.3mm thickness rotor should be replaced if worn to 1.9mm thickness.
• 1.8mm thickness rotor should be replaced if worn to 1.5mm thickness.
